    I inadvertantly sent this to Seth I. Rich when i meant to place it =
    here.... Sorry.

    In that case, how about something like:

    		force(#13:tickle(iobjstr))

    which calls the verb but bypasses the state of the x perm. ?  An =
    advantage of doing it this way is that any verb you called will not in =
    turn have the ability to call -x verbs unless they too call a force() =
    (or whatever).

    I feel fairly strongly about this.  The behavior of "what happens when I =
    call obj:verb(args)?" is the same for all users (although they may of =
    course get different results).  I don't think that .wizard=3D=3D1 should =
    change this; I think my wizardly commands should do the same thing as =
    everyone else.
